This patch improves Windows scripts, compiler validation, and fixes several bugs. It also fixes some minor UI issues, and auto-update bug on macOS desktop version. Key Windows script improvements include enhanced better Defender management, new phishing protection options, and fixes for Edge/Chrome privacy settings.
📝 Note for macOS desktop users
privacy.sexy now clears update files, but before they were not cleared by the operating system.
Some update files may have been accumulated on your system, taking storage space.
Open terminal and run this command: rm -v /var/folders/*/*/privacy.sexy/*-installer.dmg to clear them.
This bug is fixed and you'll only need to do this once if you used older versions of privacy.sexy desktop for macOS.
